We are excited to introduce a new resource designed to enhance our outreach and educational efforts—a flyer that explains each of the four program areas of Purdue Extension. This flyer is a valuable tool for showcasing the impactful work we do in the community, from Agriculture and Natural Resources to Health and Human Sciences, Community Development, and 4-H Youth Development.

We encourage all staff to utilize this flyer to educate others about the breadth and depth of our programs. By sharing this information, we can continue to foster greater awareness and understanding of the vital services Purdue Extension provides. Let's work together to highlight our contributions and make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
